This question was raised during our Sunday School at church last Sunday. I would like to see some answers.
The Bible said...
"And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. (KJV) ~Luke 14:25-33"
On the other hand,
"Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. ~1 Corinthians 4:2"
We are stewards of everything we have including family, work, studies and possessions, and we need to be faithful with these, however the passage in Luke 14: 25-33 said that we should forsake everything to be a good disciple of the Lord. In addition to this, we cannot serve two masters.
What if one sunday, your wife ask you to stay at home because she is not feeling well. Will you go to church and be a good disciple or stay at home and be a good husband?
